This is a new song on the recently released Annie Lennox Collection; it is a cover of "Shining Light" by Ash. The lyrics are uplifting and a perfect choice by Annie Lennox. This new version and it accompanying video enhance this optimistic feeling even more. And I can really see this song getting a lot more exposure come June (if you know what I mean).
Great job Annie!

Lyrics:
Roman candles that burn in the night
Yeah, you are a shining light
You lit a torch in the infinite
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
You’ve always been a thorn in their side
But to me you’re a shining light
You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
We made our connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David’s city
An epiphany you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light
You are a force, you are a constant source
Yeah, you are a shining light
Incandescent in the darkest night
Yeah, you are shining light
My mortal blood I would sacrifice
For you are a shining light
Sovereign bride of the infinite
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
We made our connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David’s city
An epiphany you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light
And these are days you often say
There’s nothing that we can’t do
Beneath a canopy of stars
I’d shed blood for you
The North Star in the firmament
You shine the most bright
I’ve seen you draped in an electric veil
Shrouded in celestial light
We made our connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David’s city
An epiphany you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
